Hi,thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that it started off as an infected hair bump (folliculitis) but may be progressing to form an abscess.
An abscess is an collection of pus.

It is treated definitively by incision and drainage of the area. Oral antibiotics may also be needed.

I hope this helps
